Description
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING TRANSMIT
POWER
The present application is a divisional from Australian patent application 2009311136, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for determining transmit power.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, the transmit power required by an Enhanced Dedicated Channel Dedicated Physical Data Channel (E-DPDCH) can be obtained according to an E-DPDCH gain factor. The E-DPDCH gain factor may be calculated by an extrapolation formula using one reference Enhanced Dedicated Channel Transport Format Combination (E-TFC). The extrapolation formula is as follows:
In the formula above, ^ed-rel’ denotes the E-DPDCH gain factor of the reference E-TFC; Le,ref denotes the number of E-DPDCH used for the reference E-TFC; Lej denotes the number of E-DPDCH used for the i:th E-TFC (that is, the i:th E-TFC is corresponding to the E-DPDCH whose the E-DPDCH gain factor is currently to be obtained); if a spreading factor of E-DPDCH is 2, Lej and Le ief denote the number of channels assuming a spreading factor of E-DPDCH is 4; Ke,ref denotes the transport block size of the reference E-TFC; Ke,i denotes the transport block size of the i:th E-TFC; and denotes an offset of a Hybrid Automatic
Repeat Request (HARQ), and is specified by the upper layer. Table 1 lists the values ofAharq_
Table 1
After the uplink 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16QAM) mode is introduced into the WCDMA system, the uplink service rate increases to 11.52 Mbps. With the increase of the service rate, a formula is put forward for calculating the E-DPDCH gain factor under high rate services. This formula uses two reference E-TFCs, and is called an interpolation formula. The interpolation formula is as follows:
In the formula above, denotes the E-DPDCH gain factor; denotes the
number of E-DPDCH in non-compressed mode; Prf and Prf denote the E-DPDCH gain factors of the first and second reference E-TFCs respectively; Leiref i and Le ref 2 denote the number of E-DPDCHs used for the first and second reference E-TFCs; if the spreading factor of E-DPDCH is 2, Leiref i and Le ref 2 denote the number of channels assuming the spreading factor of E-DPDCH is 4; Ke,ref,i and Ke,ref,2 denote the transport block sizes of the first and second reference E-TFCs; Kej denotes the transport block size of the i:th E-TFC; and Ahart| denotes the offset of the HARQ, and is specified by the upper layer.
In the prior art, if the Transmission Time Interval (TTI) is 10 ms in the compressed mode, the calculation of the E-DPDCH gain factor comes in two scenarios: the current frame is a compressed frame, and the current frame is a normal frame.
At least the following problems are found in the prior art:
The E-DPDCH gain factor calculated out in compressed mode in the prior art does not reflect the transmit power required by the E-DPDCH accurately, and the transmit power required by the E-DPDCH which is determined according to the E-DPDCH gain factor is not accurate either. Consequently, part of the transmit power of E-DPDCH is wasted and therefore the system capacity is reduced.
